Fabi Shoes Montegranaro – Umana Venezia
Montegranaro (8-13) meet at home tonight Venezia, in a match that see Montegranaro as small favorite with 2.5 points for the bookies. Fabi Shoes doesn’t play at PalaRossini since Juanuary 29 when it defeated Varese 63-60. Meanwhile Giorgio Valli’s boys lost in Rome and Bologna and won only in Biella. Montegranaro fights for avoiding a relegation place.

Venezia (13-8)  last weekend suffered an home defeat against Biella, but in previous matchdays the golden brown team won against Teramo, Pesaro, Cantù and Siena. Venezia fights for a playoff spot.
I take Umana Venezia tonight.

Venezia (+2.5) @ 1.85

Canadian Bologna – Montepaschi Siena
For my third, and last, bet on this Serie A matchday, I choose Virtus Bologna (9-5) against Mens Sana Siena. Statistics indicate that Bologna has 7 wins in 7 home games this season, so I expect another Bologna win or, at least,  a defeat for few points.

Siena (11-3) is still without Kaukenas and Lavrinovic. Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport don’t write anything about McCalebb, but anyway, I am not sure the Macedonian play maker is ok. In my opinion he is out of form.

Bologna (+5.5) @ 1.87
Stake 10/100

Cimberio Varese – Sidigas Avellino
Varese (7-7) lost in Cremona last sunday as this season the team has a lot of problems in the away games. Anyway Cimberio players do their best when they are at PalaWhirlpool, where they challeng Avellino on wednesday: 6-1 for Varese in their home games. As I want to be honest, I must say the red & white are not so strong as last season, but anyway, they seem to be strong enough to win this match and to get a place in the Final Eight of Coppa Italia.

Avellino (8-6) are thought to have some financial problems (again!).

Varese @ 1.55
Stake 10/100

EA7 Milano – Benetton Treviso
Last saturday Milano (10-4) lost againt Teramo, the team at the bottom of Serie A ranking. This season Sergio Scariolo’s boys play a super basket against string teams, but the suffer a lot against weaker teams.

Also Treviso (5-9) lived a bad weekend with the loss in the derby with Reyer Venezia. The club have announced the arrival of Marcus Green from Paok Salonicco, he is set to play on wednesday at Mediolanum Forum.

Treviso (+8.5) @ 1.87
Stake 10/100

Montepaschi Siena – Scavolini Pesaro

Siena (10-2) have finally Bob McCalebb at his best. He is the most important player for the green & white team and I am confident he is set to get the win for Siena tonight. 

Pesaro (6-6) have a lot of problems with their supporters as the president Franco Del Moro has asked the police to protect the team. Some days ago a pig’s head was sent to the club, it’s a typical mafia messagge. Pesaro travel to Siena without the center Marco Cusin, iniured. I bet my money on Siena win.

Siena @ 1.10
Stake 10/100

Canadian Solar Bologna – Benetton Treviso
Benetton (5-5) go to Bologna (6-4) to play this match of Italian Serie A. There has been changes in personnel in Treviso as young star Alessandro Gentile left the club, while Austrian center Benjamin Ortner signed for a new deal. In my opinion there is something important to underline before betting: Bologna have 5 win in 5 home games played this season: 100%.

Bennet Cantù – EA7 Milano
Milano (8-2) travel to Cantù (6-4) for the 12th round of Italian Serie A. The visitors have 3 consecutive wins in Italy and they want to keep their winning record. It would not be easy against a strong team as Bennet, as bookmakers see home team as favourite for this match. Cantù, on the other end, lost their last Serie A match against Casale. This match is broadcasting live in Italian tv channel La7.
